Enid Mettle[4] is the main tritagonist in the OK K.O.! series. She is an employee at Gar's Hero Supply & Bodega and works at the register as a cashier.
Physical Appearance
Enid is tall with a thin waist, and wide hips and legs. She has light brown skin and thick, waist length purple hair tied in a small spiky bun. She has big eyes, a small rectangle shaped nose, and thin lips. She typically wears a sleeveless blue Gar's Bodega uniform crop top that is torn at the bottom to expose her midriff, black compression shorts, and brown boots, along with white cloth wrappings on the upper half of her arms.
In the pilot episode and the mobile game, she has an outfit that resembles more to a ninja one. Her blue top had short sleeves, she wore a matching knee-length drape, and her white cloth wrappings are on her midriff and forearms. Her hair is longer, with her ponytail being bigger and extending to her waist, she has a longer nose that is a lighter brown, and her eyes are farther apart. This is less revealing than her show's outfit.
As DJ Fireball, in "You Are Rad", she sports rave attire complete with yellow sunglasses, headphones, and a pacifier necklace.
In "Plaza Prom", she returns as DJ Fireball, this time in a white blouse with a black tie and blue sea jacket with black shorts, pantyhose, and long purple boots.
In "Second First Date", she wears a purplish dress cut just above her knees, (Though it can be seen in some shots that she is wearing her shorts under it.) and rhubarb-colored boots slightly larger than her regular ones.
In "A Hero's Fate", she wears a deep purple-colored one-piece swimsuit with light purple clouds on it.
In her earlier teen years, she went through a dorky phase. In middle school, she wore a large blue and periwinkle jacket with black shorts and brown sandals, and she wore her hair loose (sometimes in a ponytail) with a blue headband tied around her head. Her other early teen appearances show her with acne and braces, one appearance had her with braided pigtails, another had her with her hair in a wavy low ponytail with sunglasses and a tie-dye t-shirt.
Personality
Enid is the most responsible of the main trio even though she is lazy. She tries to use logic and critical thinking to make rational decisions. This is primarily shown in the Pilot, in which she stops K.O. from calling a power battle based on K.O.'s shoddy detective work. She seems to react to irresponsibility the way a normal human being would, as she complained about KO making "another hole in the ceiling." She could be quite patient considering the idea of how many times KO made a hole in the ceiling prior to the Pilot. Unlike Rad, who seems to enjoy making fun of KO, she looks after KO and tries to stop him from getting into trouble.
As seen in the episode "Face Your Fears", Enid's worst fear is her dorky past and anyone finding out. Also, Dendy affirms in "We Got Hacked" that Enid acts super cool because she's internally struggling with her identity. More evident, in "Parents Day" she was afraid to confess to her parents that she doesn't want to be spooky and prefers to be a ninja.
Generally, Enid has a relaxed and peaceful attitude, even when she's in hard situations. However, she is not above to lose her patience and composure when she gets too frustrated, like in "Enid's Bad Day" where she almost destroy the whole bodega because of her anger. In "Presenting Joe Cuppa", she affirms that she prefers physical comedy.
In "Thank You For Watching The Show", Enid becomes secure with her identity as a witch and goes to witch college. She said being comfortable with her witch side won't make her any less of a ninja.
Abilities and Powers
Enid started out with a power level of 3 when K.O. first met her, but currently has a power level of 5 as of "Dark Plaza", thanks to her experience working and fighting bad guys as an employee of Gar's Bodega. Indeed, she's the employee with the highest power level of all (excluding Mr. Gar). She has been shown to be more intelligent than Rad and K.O., analyzing first the problem they're leading with rather than trying to solve it with brute strength. When she embraces her witch side and attend witch college, Enid becomes skilled at magic.
Physical Strength
Due to her ninja training and her days working alongside Rad and Mr. Gar, Enid is strong enough to fight even stronger people than her. In "You Have to Care", she managed to defeat Elodie in a power battle, despite having a power level of 3 (compared to Elodie's power level of 4).
Enid has excellent combat skills. Her fighting style seems to focus more on kicks and strategy, rather than strength, which goes with her epithet of ninja. She has a great agility and is very flexible, able to move quickly and with precision. She's also very resistant to damage, as seen in "T.K.O." where she could resist some of Turbo K.O.'s attacks.
Ninja Skills
As a ninja, Enid can realize many special techniques based on stealth and discretion. In many episodes, she has been seen doing some attacks and moves related to this:
- Body Replacement Technique: Enid can disappear at will, leaving behind a puff of smoke and a log when she does, as seen in the episode "Let's Be Friends." This technique looks to be more a retreat move rather than an offensive one.
- Smokescreen: Enid has shown to take this ability to an ultimate level in the episode "You Have to Care" where she can make a smoke screen to confuse her opponents.
- Autumn Breeze: She can summon a pile of leaves to cushion a fall. It was first seen in "Do You Have Any More in the Back?".
- Cloning: She can create immobile clones of herself that turn into wood when touched.
- Tornado Finger: In "Parents Day", Enid has been shown to be able to make a tornado by using a finger technique. To create it, she realizes a quick move with her fingers. This is a reference to Naruto, a Japanese ninja anime.
- Shadow Trap: In "Action News", Enid is able to put a shadow trap on the floor using the finger technique. When being stepped on, the target will be immobilized, preventing them from moving.
- In "Red Action to the Future", Enid has been shown to be able to turn into and out of her log transformation she usually leaves behind when using her body replacement technique.
- Ice Breath: Enid is shown to have ice breath from her cold heart. It was first shown in Point to the Plaza.
- Shapeshifting:Enid can transform into a log, in the same shape of her decoy log. It can be shot out of a cannon, and she can transform back with ease.
- Shadow Spirit: During her trial in POINT Prep, she summoned a giant humanoid shadowy spirit with red eyes, that could form a sword with its arm which also branched out into smaller spines on it.
- Fire Generation: In " Beach Episode", Enid was able to produce a ring of fire around her through intense concentration before a tidal wave extinguished it.
Power Move
Enid's special move is a flaming power kick that has the ability to ricochet. It is known as the Power Foot Fireball.[5] She has been seen using this kick in the show pilot to knock KO and Rad apart while they were fighting, and also to give KO a boost so he can go up to Darrell.
This special move is a bit similar to Sanji's Diable Jambe from the anime One Piece or the Fire type move Blaze Kick from Pokémon.
Weapons
In the episode "Do You Have Any More in the Back?", she was seen using a rope dart to save K.O. and Rad from falling. She later used it again in "Parents Day" to pull away K.O. and Rad from the tornado she made. It appears that she uses the rope to tie her hair when she's not using it for defensive purposes.
Miscellaneous Skills
In the short "Enid's Bad Day," Enid has also been shown using the power of soul-sucking when she became incredibly stressed. While in this state, she levitated above the ground and a blue whirlwind captured people's bodies, while Enid herself swallowed their souls, including K.O.'s. After taking a break, however, she easily calmed down and recovered and was able to return K.O.'s soul. It is possible that she inherited this power from her mother, Wilhamena. When teaching at the Fitness Dojo, Enid uses her wand to extirpate the errant projectiles shot by the young Hue Troop members.
In "You Are Rad" and "Plaza Prom", Enid has proved to be a professional DJ, going by the name of DJ Fireball.
Alter-Egos
Were-Bunny
In the episode "We've Got Fleas", Enid is turned into a were-bunny after being bit by Crinkly Wrinkly. She became a bunny because, according to herself, she's quick on her feet. In this form, Enid obtains bunny-like abilities and particularities, like digging tunnels underground and eating carrots. Her strength and speed are theorized to increase as well.
Turbo Enid (Tenid)
In the episode "Let's Fight to the End", Enid turns turbo after receiving the turbo collar from Fink to try to defeat T.K.O. along with the help of Turbo Rad (Trad). In this form, her hair becomes longer, she receives a similar outfit to the one worn in the pilot excluding the cloth wrapped around her waist and arms. Her accessories include black eyeshadow, six piercings, eyeliner, fishnet socks, black leather boots, purple spiked necklace and bracelets on her wrists, and black fingerless gloves. She also has two fangs which are always visible and a single snaggle-tooth when her mouth is closed.
History
Relationships
Rad
Enid's coworker and best friend, they share a close friendship that can be rocky, tense, and sometimes even at odds, but they truly care about each other. Enid typically keeps Rad's ego and buffoonery in check while he typically gets on her nerves.
K.O.
Enid and K.O. share a close friendship akin to big sister and little brother. K.O. idolizes Enid (and Rad) and often helps the moody young ninja crack a smile and be positive. Enid is more frank with K.O. and looks out for him.
Mr. Gar
Mr. Gar is Enid's employer, who she respects and looks up to in her own way. She listens to Mr. Gar and does whatever he says during work hours diligently.
Red Action
Red Action is Enid's girlfriend, as well as one of her best friends. The two commonly bond over activities such as Jelly Surfing and exploring The Danger Zone. Their relationship is confirmed to be romantic in the episode "Red Action 3: Grudgement Day".
